Marjorie Anne (Fraker) Nimey

Mrs. Marjorie Anne Nimey, 81, of Deerfield, passed away unexpectedly, with her loving family by her side, Wednesday, April 10, 2024, at The Wynn Hospital.

She was born in Amsterdam, NY, February 4, 1943, a daughter of the late George and Geraldine (Davenport) Fraker. As a young girl, she was raised and educated in Johnstown and eventually moved to the Utica area, where she attended New York Mills schools and graduated from New York Mills High School.

A loving wife, mother, and Sitto, Marge was an excellent cook and loved nothing more than preparing special dishes for her family. She enjoyed traveling, especially to her favorite casinos, here and in Boynton Beach FL, where she and Joe shared many happy winters.
